00:00:12.602 --> 00:00:14.415 align:middle line:90%
I'll close with this one.

00:00:14.415 --> 00:00:14.915 align:middle line:90%
Time.

00:00:14.915 --> 00:00:18.170 align:middle line:90%


00:00:18.170 --> 00:00:19.025 align:middle line:90%
"The Bullets.

00:00:19.025 --> 00:00:22.910 align:middle line:90%


00:00:22.910 --> 00:00:28.300 align:middle line:84%
Ernie the painter
carved a bullet."

00:00:28.300 --> 00:00:29.050 align:middle line:90%
Not a pull it.

00:00:29.050 --> 00:00:31.450 align:middle line:90%
Let me start again.

00:00:31.450 --> 00:00:35.500 align:middle line:84%
"Ernie the painter carved a
bullet from a small milk carton

00:00:35.500 --> 00:00:37.570 align:middle line:84%
and saved it for
a rainy day when

00:00:37.570 --> 00:00:39.970 align:middle line:84%
everything would become
wet and disintegrate

00:00:39.970 --> 00:00:43.340 align:middle line:90%
and drink from the sky.

00:00:43.340 --> 00:00:46.250 align:middle line:90%
Oh, denim bullet.

00:00:46.250 --> 00:00:48.840 align:middle line:90%
Oh, woolen bullet.

00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:51.970 align:middle line:90%
Oh, Venetian velvet bullet.

00:00:51.970 --> 00:00:56.460 align:middle line:84%
Sticky weather and
polyurethane mitten bullet.

00:00:56.460 --> 00:01:02.290 align:middle line:84%
Bullets of sand, of salad
greens, of dimpled cheek.

00:01:02.290 --> 00:01:05.379 align:middle line:84%
Bullets of blood cells
rattling among the interior

00:01:05.379 --> 00:01:10.690 align:middle line:84%
of the human harp, of
heartbreak, of baby wipes,

00:01:10.690 --> 00:01:14.990 align:middle line:84%
of hollow bone chime and
mechanical pencil lead.

00:01:14.990 --> 00:01:17.090 align:middle line:84%
Bullets of the
imagination released

00:01:17.090 --> 00:01:22.660 align:middle line:84%
like a silver waterfall from a
sleeper's ear, bedtime harbor.

00:01:22.660 --> 00:01:25.990 align:middle line:84%
Infantry of bullets
sewn of old sweaters

00:01:25.990 --> 00:01:29.320 align:middle line:90%
and its pledge to keep us warm.

00:01:29.320 --> 00:01:31.870 align:middle line:84%
Bullets that walk
into the sawdust rink

00:01:31.870 --> 00:01:38.710 align:middle line:84%
and align themselves according
to height and depth until one

00:01:38.710 --> 00:01:41.000 align:middle line:90%
clears its throat.

00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.530 align:middle line:90%
And then they're off.

00:01:43.530 --> 00:01:44.990 align:middle line:90%
Pow.

00:01:44.990 --> 00:01:50.930 align:middle line:84%
A singing bunch, lyrics
about the world and the stars

00:01:50.930 --> 00:01:54.050 align:middle line:84%
and the universe and
the promise to reject

00:01:54.050 --> 00:01:59.250 align:middle line:84%
the compositions of another
violent kind of work."

00:01:59.250 --> 00:02:01.540 align:middle line:90%
Thank you very much.
